Reason: This arc teaches you about MA, while being fun and helping you get badges. I also LOVE the description you see in the mission search.

Well my favorite arc has to be "gameshow Hijinx episode 1"
and thank you for the thread
the author is @King Ceaz
Here are some of my picks that jumped immediately to mind.
Arc 26811 - Love is in the Error
A story about helping the Kraken find true love. Absurd and hillarious. I can't play this without grinning like an idiot.
Arc 2180 - Bricked Electronics
A solid story, and a very good lowbie arc. This is actually one of my favorite lowbie arcs, and I've run it a few times. Plus the game needs more stories involving Goldbrickers, so there you go.
Arc 159140 - Challenge of the Splendid Pals - Episodes 1-3
A Superfriends-esque story with some really great custom mobs, also some innuendo. There are two other Splendid Pals arcs that continue the story (159131 and 179871) and those have fantastic custom groups as well.
Arc 164235 - Poi, Demonology, and Everything I Learned From Hellions
Shameless promotion here. This is my husband's arc, but it really is a must play for me. Every time I roll a brand new hero, I head for this arc. It's a short alternate take on your hero's early adventures in Paragon, and it's gratifying because it shows that even lowbies have something to offer the veterans at times.
I also want to agree that Celebrity Kidnapping was a great arc. Highly recommended.

I'm at work and don't have arc numbers in front of me, but I just wanted to chime in and say that this is one of my absolute favorites.
^^^
Since Geekboy is here and I realized that I forgot to mention his arc:
Arc ID 51728 - Speeding Through Time
This is a well written arc with an engaging character for the contact, and one of the missions in particular is just a ton of frenetic fun. I've recommended this to three or four of my friends, and they all loved it.
Turg Fiction:Ghost in the machine part one.
Reason: brilliant writing that effortlessly sucks you in. Teally stand-out storytelling.
Celebrity Kidnapping, as above
Reason: textbook perfect 'zig breakout' mission. Every MAuthor should use this as a 'learn how'.
@tubbius 'Tubbius Trilogy'
Reason: totally lovable custom characters that just generate a big lazy cheesy grin.
Theres lots more, ill add when i remember.
Eco
MArcs:
The Echo, Arc ID 1688 (5mish, easy, drama)
The Audition, Arc ID 221240 (6 mish, complex mech, comedy)
Storming Citadel, Arc ID 379488 (lowbie, 1mish, 10-min timed)

Still waiting for the update to apply so I don't have the number in front of me, but I just played "The Pick Up Group From Heck" again, and it still made me laugh.
Fool Me Once
ARC ID: 1072
Author: @Longshot

Mecha Mutiny: Quatrexin's Quandary
ARC ID: 246604
Author: @Feizel
Reason: This arc was lots of fun to play! I loved the contact and some of the costum villians. While this arc was mainly a story, some of the dialogue was so funny to me, I actually laughed.

60197 - Becky's Revenge
Great dialogue that's not only shoot-milk-thru-your-nose funny, but also dead on respectful to existing lore.
1396 - Grim Riddles
One of the most innovative uses of AE I've played. Great character development and dialogue to boot.
84008 - Jenkins' Guide to Supervillainy
A fun arc that fleshes out CoV's favorite punching bag with fun dialogue, challenging missions, and cannonical background.

Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!

Thanks for pointing this one out, Chum! Despite the typos it was a 'splendidly' fun arc!! The costumes & character bios were awesome and even the 'busy' dialogue was a riot

One of my favorites has got to be:
Wicked, Wicked Wonderland - # 1224
@ancientspirit
Reason: This arc is just plain fun. Nifty custom characters. Clever writing. Interesting plot. Fun souvenier for completion. Plus, great innuendo kinda reminiscent of Jessica Rabbit "playing pattycake" in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. 
Be sure to read all the bios and NPC dialogue.
The Shadow Rune of the Warlocks
ARC ID: 124319
Author: @RedWarlock
Reason: An amazing choice of maps creating a dark mood, nice customs and last but not least the AdaMastor!

Tubbi, the idea here is to point out an arc you've played by another author and recommend it.
Shameless self-promotion goes in the stickied "Announce Your Arc" thread above.

Just found another good one:
125715 Dungeoncleaners
by Pep Cat
I've never played WoW, so I probably didn't get all the in-jokes but it didn't matter. Fantastic costumes, funny dialogue and lots of easter eggs!
*Warning: the enemy group can be a bit difficult because they really work well as a team. Low levels bring insps!

Exploding Planet
ARC ID:200411
Author:@ Fantastic Foe
Reason: I have never played any other arc like it. It created a whole new world, complete with a language and at the same time was so funny. I loved this arc!
Warning: You may fail in the last mission. I cheated by getting help and beat it by 1 second (yes it is timed and i normally don't care for timed, but it this case it fit).
Tons of fun

There are lots of threads here that are about reviewing or critiquing arcs. I have personally found them really valuable, and I got lots of great input as to how to improve my arc.
However, some of these critiquing threads are very negative. This thread is intended to be ALL positive.
Post arcs that for you are must play or fun and the reason why.
They don't have to be polished arcs that deserve 5 stars or even 4.
They should be arcs you enjoyed for any reason. It could be humor, challenging to play, great custom characters, etc.
So here are the guidelines for this thread:
Post an arc here that for you is fun or a must play and why.
PM the author that you have posted his or her arc here.
Do not post anything negative here. Realize that liking an arc is a matter of personal taste. Also enjoying and feeling it deserves 5 stars is not the same thing.
Feel free to respond to a post agreeing an arc was fun or a must play.
The goal of this thread is to let people get postive feedback as well as to help people find arcs that others find fun to play. I will start it off in my next post.
